Stranger Things Will Be Back For Season 3, But Probably End After Season 4

Stranger Things season two won't arrive on Netflix for a few months, but the show's creators have already begun looking at its end game.

In a new interview, the Duffer Brothers confirmed a third season has been given the go ahead and they want to finish the show with season four.

"We're thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out," Ross Duffer told Vulture. They wouldn't get more detailed than that, of course, since audiences haven't even seen season two yet. But there was a hint that the show's general structure — set in Hawkins, dealing with the Upside Down — would likely be changed.

"I don't know if we can justify something bad happening to them once a year," Duffer added. He also teased that the kids may even leave the town at some point.

Those are some very broad generalisations, but that's fine with season two still a mystery. The best news here is that Stranger Things will be back for another season, at least, after this one, and that the Brothers are looking at the story as a connected whole. It will have a set, satisfying ending.

Netflix has yet to comment publicly on the Duffer's statements. We've reached out to them for comment and will update this story if that happens.
